Visit

Located in the heart of Park Slope, the Old Stone House is a perfect place to experience Brooklyn’s past while enjoying one of its most vibrant public spaces. The Battle of Brooklyn exhibit, the public restrooms and the recreation spaces are all wheelchair accessible.

Explore Our Exhibit

The Battle of Brooklyn was the first and largest battle of the American Revolution and the first official battle fought by the United States Army. Our permanent exhibit delves into the Battle, from the tense buildup through its dramatic climax. Informative for everyone from families to those with a deeper interest in the Revolutionary War, the exhibit features period weapons and clothes, as well as documents and artifacts that bring the fateful events of August 1776 to life.

Explore Washington Park & JJ Byrne Playground

Visit beautiful JJ Byrne Playground, which reflects the history of our site as a family farm and battle ground. The lush gardens are restful and a great place to learn about native and useful plants. Play basketball or handball, enjoy our open turf field during community hours after 3 pm on Fridays, and 5 pm on Saturdays and Sundays. Shop at the Down to Earth Farmer’s Market year round on Sundays, or join the Fishkill Farms CSA.

Find us at the center of Washington Park & JJ Byrne Playground, between 4th and 5th Avenues/3rd and 4th Street in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Accessible via the F/4th Avenue and the R/Union Street or the B63 bus.
